Increasing environmental concerns such as green house gas emission,
growing energy consumption especially from emerging countries,
increasing investment in renewable energies, and low operating and
maintenance cost of solar power plants put the world at cumulatively
40.7 GW of solar photovoltaic and concentrated thermal power installed
capacity at the end of 2010. In 2010, estimated market size for
photovoltaic and concentrated solar thermal technologies was $36.6
billion.

North America is the fastest growing market and will grow by a CAGR
of 30.7% in annual installation during 2011 – 2016. By 2016, the solar
energy market in North America will be at 5.1 GW of annual
installations with an estimated market size of $14.8 billion. The growth
of North America is led by the U.S.; where both photovoltaic (PV) and
concentrated solar thermal (CST/CSP) solar power technologies are
getting investments. Asia-Pacific is the second fastest growing market,
only after North America; which will grow by a CAGR of 20.5% in annual
installations during 2011 – 2016. The region’s growth will be pushed by
increasing installations in China.

According to a new market research report, “Global E-Waste Management Market (2011 –
2016)” published by MarketsandMarkets
(www.marketsandmarkets.com), the total e-waste management market is
expected to reach $20.25 billion by 2016 at a CAGR of 17.22% from 2011
to 2016; and the volume of e-waste generated is expected to reach 93.5
million tons in 2016 from 41.5 million tons in 2011 at a CAGR of 17.6%.

The past decade has witnessed the volume of e-waste increasing at an
alarming rate. This is a problem that has the potential to snowball into
a disaster, if proper regulations and standards are not set in place.
Studies indicate that around eight out of ten computers disposed in the
U.S. are sent to developing countries, particularly Asia and Africa.
This trend can be attributed to the lack of appropriate domestic
recycling facilities for some types of materials in the U.S.

Management of e-waste provides benefits such as job creation,
improved technological knowledge, and environmental benefits. In
developing countries, job creation also helps in alleviation of poverty
and improved health conditions.

The revenue from the e-waste
management market is expected to grow from $9.15 billion in 2011 to
$20.25 billion in 2016 at a CAGR of 17.22%. The volume of e-waste that
is being generated currently is estimated to be 41.5 million tons and is
expected to rise up to 93.5 million tons by 2016 at a CAGR of 17.6%
from 2011 to 2016.

The report “Carbon Fiber Market by Types,
Applications, Trends & Global Forecasts (2011 – 2016)”, as
the name suggests, defines and segments the global
carbon fiber market with detailed analysis and forecasts of market size
based on various sub-markets by CF types, its applications, and
geography. It also identifies driving and restraining factors for the
market with analysis of trends, opportunities, and challenges. The
market is segmented and forecasted on the basis of major geographies
such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World
(ROW).

Superior properties of carbon fiber such as high strength, high
stiffness, low density, non-corrosiveness; electrical conductivity, and
chemical inertness make it an ideal material in the plethora of
applications such as aerospace, military, automotive, wind energy,
sporting goods, and industrial applications. The factors leading to
increased interest in the carbon
fiber market include demand for more fuel efficient vehicles,
structural & performance advantages, continuous emergence of novel
applications, and increased demand from emerging economies. However, the
market’s potential is somewhat hindered by high price of the carbon
fiber, insufficient production capacity, processing difficulties, and
lack of automation. In spite of this, there is a huge opportunity for
existing & new carbon fiber producers.

Currently, almost 90% of the carbon fiber that is used is PAN-based,
whereas pitch-based carbon fiber is used only in specialty applications.
The global carbon fiber market is expected to grow from $1,701.9
million in 2010 to $2,515.4 million by 2016 at a CAGR of 5.9%.
Asia-Pacific accounted for the highest share in the carbon fiber market
and is expected to reach $938.9 million in 2016 at a CAGR of 6.3% from
2011 to 2016. North America is the second largest market and expected to
grow with CAGR of 5.9% to reach $857 million in 2016. The market shares
of various geographies for the period are Asia-Pacific (36.2%), North
America (34%), Europe (25.8%), and ROW (3.88%).

In 2010, most of the carbon fiber production (47%) was used by the
aerospace sector. Falling in the second place was the other industrial
applications sector with a 29.5% market share. The remaining three
sectors; namely sporting goods, wind energy and automotive, which
utilized 11.8%, 8.8% and 2.6% respectively. The report also includes the
breakdown of these applications into various geographies and even
further into different regions in these geographies.

The global healthcare IT market is expected to grow from $99.6
billion in 2010 to $162.2 billion in 2015, at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2010
to 2015.

Support from the government in the form of stimulus packages is the
biggest strength for the market. Implementation of nationwide health
records in the U.S., Europe, China, and all the other major markets
depends upon the government initiatives. With the changing terms between
clients and vendors, the markets offer huge opportunity for domain
specific players. Healthcare IT providers generate more than 60% of
their revenue through license updating and the remaining through new
client acquisitions. This has attracted the attention of many
non-healthcare segment players such as Google; which is offering Google
health record for maintaining patient data.

The healthcare IT market is witnessing many developments with the
introduction of healthcare reforms in developed nations. IT
implementation has already streamlined healthcare and hospital
procedures such as billing, medical imaging, and diagnostic information.
However, the market still offers more scope for development, especially
with increasing government incentives in the sector.

According to the new market research report “Global
Shale Gas Market by Technology, Geography, Applications, Regulations,
Ethylene production, Market Trends & Forecasts (2011- 2021)”
published by MarketsandMarkets, the global shale gas production is
expected to grow from 4,130 billion cubic feet in 2011 to 6,991 billion
cubic feet in 2021 at a CAGR of 5.4% for the same period. North America
being the only region active with commercial production of shale gas
as of year 2010; is expected to remain the largest shale gas market in
terms of production volumes by the year 2021 with a share of 78% due to
technological expertise and availability of resources; followed by
EMEA (13%), Asia Pacific (7%), and ROW (2%). The current exploration
and production activities by major oil and gas companies in Europe and
Asia Pacific indicate the commercialization of shale gas by 2016 in
these regions. The markets representing high growth rate in shale gas
production from 2016 to 2021 are China (6.2%), Poland (6%), France
(5.4%), South Africa (5.1%), and U.S. (5%).

Shale gas is an unconventional natural gas explored from shale rocks
or deposits underneath earth through multistage hydraulic fracturing and
horizontal drilling. The shale gas reserves are found across the globe
in significant volumes of about 16,103 trillion cubic feet as per the
shale gas report by IEA.

The major drivers for shale gas market are
identified as proved abundance of shale gas resources across the globe,
improving supply and distribution infrastructure, decline in natural
gas prices, and improvements in drilling technology. The capital
intensive nature of shale gas projects and water contamination and usage
issues for fracturing requirements hinder shale gas development. The
opportunities are cited in probable increase in ethylene volumes through
shale gas and new basins discovered in countries like Poland, China,
and Australia.

The increasing shale gas production is likely to boost ethylene
production by 6.6% by the year 2021. The another challenge of reducing
fracturing water requirement from average well consumption of 3.15
million gallons/well can be overcome by water recycling and increasing
well productivity. According to research, if well productivity is over 9
BCF/well, water requirement can be reduced by 35% than that required
with average well productivity of 5.4 BCF/well.
